    Dang, that matches Obama’s score. Obama was simultaneously bombing Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Libya, Somalia, Pakistan, and Yemen.

    I hate that our culture seems to really, really love a warmonger.

      Except we are comparing 8 years of Obama against not even a full year of trump.

      Another reason it is not apples to apples comparison is that trump disabled all the transparency reporting that were under Obama, so we know only what they are willing to tell us.

        Yeah.

        Obama was so transparent he spent his whole presidency trying to get Julian Assange killed.

        Also, just in 2016, Obama dropped 20,000 tons of bombs on these countries

        The dude loved bloodying his hands, and it’s silly to pretend that warmongering isn’t bipartisan.

        He was, but he also did it with some senate oversight and approval. Not saying the bombings were right but it was at least more right.

          You’re only providing further evidence that the illegality is bipartisan and institutionally deep & broad.
